Returning Patients

Each time you return to our office or are scheduled for a procedure at our endoscopy center or infusion suite, we will need to verify your identity and insurance benefits. Please remember to bring your insurance cards and driver’s license with you to expedite the registration process. We also ask that you inform us of any changes to your home address, telephone numbers or preferred pharmacy.

Prescription Refills

The most convenient way to refill a prescription is for you to contact your pharmacy directly. If all of the originally prescribed refills have been used, your pharmacy can contact our office to renew your prescription. If additional information is needed, someone from our office will contact you to discuss your need for additional medication or arrange an office visit to ensure proper care.

We request that you provide us with at least 48-hours’ notice so that the secretary will have a chance to contact your doctor and the pharmacy. If you prefer, you can request a refill by contacting the office where you routinely receive care. Prescriptions for narcotics and pain medications will only be filled during office hours, Monday through Friday, and not after hours or on weekends.

Emergencies

If you have a medical emergency, please seek emergency assistance by calling 911. Outside of our normal business hours, one of our physicians is on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The on-call physician can be reached by calling the office where you are routinely seen. An operator will take your call and forward your message to the on-call physician who will contact you.
